Vintage Tube Services:The Best!
By quite a large margin....

In what ways are they better than others by "quite a large margin"? And better than whom, specifically?

Please give details, as this might be a reason for me to switch suppliers.

i was always getting power tubes (6550c) from TubeDepot.
All sets lasted the same with no issues.

Brent Jessee is always my go-to guy.  If you can describe the type of sound you are looking for and what your budget is, he'll provide recommendations and he also provides an optional warranty and will stand behind it.

He does more thorough testing and has better test equipment than anyone else that I know of.

Giving Viva Tubes a shot and I bought 4 of the KT170 for the Qualiton X200. 
Should be here mid week and they had the best price by a long shot.

Impressions to come.
